lifilter

FYI, I've updated this to work on any page that has any <li> (and renamed it accordingly), and to work on demand via querystring as well. w:User:Splarka/lifilter.js. Splarka 06:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Updated it again, to play nice on almost any page (via &lifilter=true url) and in any skin (in theory). Same link. Splarka 10:51, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Typo and suggestion

Hello!

I've noticed there is a typo at this line:

if(wgAction == 'history' || wgCanonicalSpecialPageName == 'Search' || wgCanonicalSpecialPageName == 'Log'
|| wgCanonicalSpecialPageName == 'CheckUser' || wgCanonicalSpecialPageName == 'LinkSearch'
|| wgCanonicalSpecialPageName == 'Contributions' || wgCanonicalSpecialPageName == 'IPBlockList' || queryString('lifilter'))
addOnloadHook(filterLiButton)

When we go to Special:IPBlockList, the variable wgCanonicalSpecialPageName has the value "Ipblocklist", with 'pb' instead of 'PB'.

Could you correct this? Helder 17:48, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

By the way, is it possible to "submit" the filter when the user press ENTER? Currently it is needed to click at the "Filter" button... I think this could be useful. Helder 17:48, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

By the way (2), I've made a translation of the messages to Portuguese, if you want to add it here... ;) Helder 17:56, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done, first request done, for the other ones someone with more JavaScript knowledge is necessary. --The Evil IP address (talk) 22:17, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Would it be possible to have the script filtering after the user press ENTER? Helder 21:06, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

 Done. Don't forget to reload your browser's cache. Lupo 07:12, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Localization

Hi!

Could anyone please make the script localizable?

We already have the Portuguese translation ('pt' and 'pt-br') which could be incorpored in commons version too. Helder 20:22, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

By the way, in the translated version, the line became too long horizontally:

Could someone add a linebreak in the text of variable "instructions"?

Another option would be to move the text of that variable to the caption:

$legend.text('Filter <li> list: ' + instructions );

Helder 20:42, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

I would also be glad, if the gadget could be localized. It is also offered as a gadget in de.wikipedia. --Leyo 16:45, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Missing parenthesis

{{editprotected}}

Hi!

It seems to be missing some parenthesis around this code:

	if (wgAction == 'history' || wgCanonicalSpecialPageName && wgCanonicalSpecialPageName.match(/^(Activeusers|CheckUser|Contributions|Ipblocklist|LinkSearch|Log|Search|(Uncategoriz|Unus|Want)ed(categori|templat)es|Wantedfiles|(Short|Long|Ancient|Uncategorized|Unwatched|Wanted|Protected|Deadend|Lonely|New)pages|Fewestrevisions|Withoutinterwiki|(Double|Broken)Redirects|Protectedtitles|CrossNamespaceLinks|Recentchanges|Categories|Disambiguations|Listredirects|GlobalUsers|GlobalBlockList|Listusers|Watchlist|Most(linked|revisions|categories)|Nuke|Whatlinkshere)$/i) || getParamValue('lifilter')) {

It should be

	if (wgAction == 'history' || (wgCanonicalSpecialPageName && wgCanonicalSpecialPageName.match(/^(Activeusers|CheckUser|Contributions|Ipblocklist|LinkSearch|Log|Search|(Uncategoriz|Unus|Want)ed(categori|templat)es|Wantedfiles|(Short|Long|Ancient|Uncategorized|Unwatched|Wanted|Protected|Deadend|Lonely|New)pages|Fewestrevisions|Withoutinterwiki|(Double|Broken)Redirects|Protectedtitles|CrossNamespaceLinks|Recentchanges|Categories|Disambiguations|Listredirects|GlobalUsers|GlobalBlockList|Listusers|Watchlist|Most(linked|revisions|categories)|Nuke|Whatlinkshere)$/i)) || getParamValue('lifilter')) {

JS Errors

{{editprotected|technical=yes}} The script is generating the error

trailing \ in regular expression
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-rightsfilter.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&283-19
Line 85

when I start to fill in the form with the regex "\d", because it try to use "\" as a regex.

I think if the code of filterLi() or

$('#rightsFilter input').bind('keyup change', function () {
	filterLists.filterLi();
});

validated the input to see if it is a valid regular expression this error wouldn't happen.

Could someone fix it? Helder 14:35, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Backward compatibilities

{{editprotected|technical=yes}} Hi!

I would like to know if it is really wanted that this edit breaks old links in which there was no 'lifilter' parameter needed to activate the form when clicking in the links. For example:

• This link works:

  http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history&withJS=MediaWiki:Gadget-rightsfilter.js&lifilterexpr=Reverted&lifilter=1

• But this doesn't works anymore:

  http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history&withJS=MediaWiki:Gadget-rightsfilter.js&lifilterexpr=Reverted

Could it check for the presence of any of the accepted parameters to decide if the form should be shown (instead of checking by &lifilter=1)? Helder 15:04, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

 Not done This has been open for 6 months - let's admit it isn't going to be fulfilled. I suggest following it up by posting at COM:VP or approaching a user directly who might be able to help. Rd232 (talk) 10:55, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Links to filtered lists

Hi!

Could some admin replicate this update to the original script? It adds a link which the user can use to get a url to the filtered list, making it easier to share specific sublists of logs and other pages. Helder 21:07, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Update

{{editprotected}}

Hello! Could someone apply these changes to the script? The new version includes fixes to the problems mentioned in the sections above (i18n, bug fixes, backward compatibility, button to get links to filtered lists ). Feel free to add other translations as well. Helder 04:15, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

 Done. Also made an additional edit:

• Whitespace consistency
  • separate conditions and the condition-wrapper with a space from the "if" keyword
  • no space between the function and the callee (whether or not with arguments). This makes it easy to see if something is a function or a block.
• Double quotes/single quotes
• HTML escaping!
  • jQuery.fn.append is appending HTML, not text. Input has to be escaped before hand (or use .text() if possible) with mw.html.escape().
  • When creating a new element, insert text with .text() instead of .append().
  • Including cases like $( foo ).append( '<option>' + mw.msg( 'bar' ) + '</option>' );,
    those should be $( foo ).append( '<option>' + mw.html.escape( mw.msg( 'bar' ) ) + '</option>' );
    or perhaps: $( foo ).append( $('<option>').text( mw.msg( 'bar' ) ) );.
    From MediaWiki 1.18 onwards, the following has become possible as well: $( foo ).append( '<option>' + mw.message( 'bar' ).escaped() + '</option>' );.
    But some kind of escaping is required.
• Removing unneeded parenthesis.
• Using strict comparison (tripple equals)
• Combining HTML fragments into a string before dom-manipulation (eg. combining a bunch of ‎<option> tags in 1 string and calling .append() only once, instead of parsing HTML many times and appending the element to another element many times)
• Some other minor performance improvements and good practices catched by JSHint.

–Krinkle^talk 12:02, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Followup:

• There is a small typo in the code: 'filter-othe-list-instructions' should be 'filter-other-list-instructions'.
• It seems necessary to change the parameters in the gadgets-definition from [ResourceLoader] to [ResourceLoader|dependencies=mediawiki.util], to avoid problems when mw.util.getParamValue and mw.util.addPortletLink are used.
• The <br> tag was in the Portuguese translation intentionally (see #Localization), but I think it is better to move it to a place such as $fieldSet, where it would be added to all translations.

Thanks for improving the script.

PS: what about adding translations for 'nl' and 'de'? ;-) Helder 12:37, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Typo in message key fixed, dependencies added (this bug is fixed in MediaWiki 1.19 btw, but is not backportable to MediaWiki 1.17). I didn't add the ‎<br> though, the code has changed since the question at #Localization was asked. The line break is no longer needed since we have a separate ‎<fieldset> and ‎<legend> now. –Krinkle^talk 14:18, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

blank missing

A blank is missing in Regex filter the plain text representation of this list.Regex string:, i.e. between the two variables. --Leyo 21:02, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

This seems to be the same problem reported above, and it seems to be fixed in the current version. Could you update your cache and see if the problem persists? Helder 20:09, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Purging the cache does not change anything for me. --Leyo 20:17, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

For me, there's no blank after the period either (FF 3.6.4, monobook and vector). And as far as I can see, there's no reason why there should be one with the current script. The script should probably use fieldsetHtml += '&nbsp;<label for="rfRegex">' ... instead of fieldsetHtml += '<label for="rfRegex">' ... to force a blank between the filter-legend and the filter-regex-label texts.

Legacy JavaScript

Hello! This script has been detected as using deprecated parameters that need to be replaced with the updated version. Examples include addOnloadHook() needs to be replaced with $(); all wgGlobalVariables need to be properly gotten with mw.config.get( 'wgGlobalVariable' ); and addPortletLink needs to be called with mw.util.addPortletLink. Please see MW:ResourceLoader/Legacy JavaScript for details. Thank you. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 21:55, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello Technical 13 -- this post with its generic message is incredibly unhelpful. Neither does the this script contain wg globals, or addOnloadHook, nor addPortletLink. And the cited phabricator number in the edit summary is unhelpful too, linking to a generic ticket requesting configuration changes. -- Rillke^(q?) 09:55, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

• No worries Rillke. This is a page that came up in a search for pages containing "addOnloadHook" with a suffix of ".js" - By the looks of this talk page, that may have already been resolved. As such, I've removed the edit request template and taken it out of the special cat. Looking over the script, it still fails to meet the coding conventions, but that is in no way script breaking. Thanks pinging me to look it over! — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 14:50, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

• @Technical 13: As long as there is no automated checking for coding conventions it makes absolutely no sense to enforce them or we can shut down community scripts entirely. Feel free to improve Commons:JavaScript styleguide and please do a more careful search; e.g. utilizing a database dump or dump all messages from API and parse the JavaScripts so you can exclude strings and comments. Thanks & Best -- Rillke^(q?) 15:36, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
  • As I mentioned on my talk page (I'm getting lost in all this discussion fragmentation), the script ran exactly as intended and tagged the talk pages of all scripts where addOnloadHook was used in the script or mentioned on the talk page so that those pages could be gone over to look for other deprecations mentioned in the documentation. There were about 800 pages on this wiki and enwp has nearly 8,000 I need to get tagged before long. Anything more specific than the general message I included would have been even more confusing to the majority of users. I expected to get a lot of please help me messages on my talk page, and they are coming in on various wiki's I've run through to tag. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 16:27, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
    • Specific messages on what to improve always make sense. Compile a list of deprecations, download a DB dump, parse the JavaScripts and compile messages for each page individually consisting of line numbers and the thing that is deprecated instead of this attempt of a catch-all whatever. Puzzled -- Rillke^(q?) 16:32, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Fix for enhanced recent changes

I really like this script, but it does not work for the enhanced recent changes, so I fixed it:
Replace

		listItems = $( '#bodyContent' ).find( 'li' );

with

		if ( mw.config.get( 'wgCanonicalSpecialPageName' ) === 'Recentchanges' ) {
			//enhanced recentchanges
			listItems = $( '#bodyContent' ).find( '.mw-enhanced-rc' );
		} else {
			//Any other list of <li> objects
			listItems = $( '#bodyContent' ).find( 'li' );
		}

Maybe not the best solution, but it works for me.--Baumgeist (talk) 09:45, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Plus, you might want to replace

		fieldsetHtml += '<label for="rfRegex">' + mw.html.escape(mw.msg( 'filter-regex-label' )) + '</label><input id="rfRegex">';

with

		fieldsetHtml += '<label for="rfRegex">' + mw.html.escape(mw.msg( 'filter-regex-label' )) + '</label><input id="rfRegex" size="35">';

Makes using a regex for filtering much more comfortable.--Baumgeist (talk) 10:15, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Not compatible with New filters for edit review

1. Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures
2. Enable "New filters for edit review"
3. Go to Special:Watchlist, with "lifilter=1" in the URL

Expected result

the fields for the filter is visible, because the URL includes "lifilter=1"

Actual result

the filter is not visible.

Since gerrit:473144 was merged (for phab:T205581), the filter does not work as expected on w:pt:Special:Contributions/Salebot. It filters the lists ( diff | hist ) for each edit, instead of filtering the list of edits. Helder 13:04, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
